Köttkäft Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) I thought I would share a project I have been working on for a couple of weeks. I loved the "Formaldehyde Nights" story from Wyrd Chronicles 6 and when my good friend Seregon announced that there would be a "Best Supply wagon" contest for the Swedish Malifaux Masters tournament I realized that I had to combine the two. I am very happy with the result, and as a bonus I ended up winning the contest. Feel free to give any feedback.

Big Ned Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Sweet! This is an excellent example of taking inspiration from a story and creating an original model. Your supply wagon is beautifully converted and is telling a lot of story itself. Good luck on the contest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Köttkäft Posted August 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Thank you very much! I don't need luck, I'm good. Nah, just kidding, maybe it wasn't clear from the original post but I did place first, although buy a small margin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Well earned win, I'd say! It tells a great story, and it's well made and painted as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nagash13 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 quick question. how did you do the tall grass from the cobblestone cracks. i've wanted to use that effect but never experimented with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Köttkäft Posted August 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 The small tufts are from Army painter, I used two different shades. The taler grass is something similair to this cut to length (keep it firm or you will end up with all the straws scattering about), dabbed with some white glue and just pushed down in the crack.

sharpobjects Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Where did you get the coble stones that you inserted into the base for the outstanding height it gives to the model? Is that a one piece set or was it built from scratch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Köttkäft Posted August 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 The bricks are the large bricks from Pegasus Hobbies, some of them filed down a bit to create the arches on the sides. The inside is filled with spackle to give some additional weight and support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thulis Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 That's just.... wow. Congrats on winning, it was well earned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybarite Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 It certainly was a well earned win. i was really impressed by it and i laughed when i saw Sebastian holding the controller. There were some great supply wagons and yours and David's wagons really stood out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Köttkäft Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Thank you all for the nice comments. I thought I would add a few pictures from the construction of the wagon. The wagon itself is made out of plasticard and brass. The two Guild Autopsys recieved minor modifications such as repositioning of arms (and removal of weapons) and the right one got his coat shortened and frayed at the edges because it was in the way of the wagon. Seb got new hands and a box with a crank on it and some spikes on top (hard to see in the pictures) and his bonesaw got a new grip built and places on the wagon. He still has the cable to connect it attached to his backpack. Note that the positioning of the saw and severed arm changed in the final assembly. The arm is poking out from underneath the blanket (also not seen here) next to the coffin in the front. The cable going from Sebastians box to the back of the Autopsys heads is also not present in the pictures above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
